Application Software: Programs That Let You Work & Play
A computer without software is like a sandwich without filling!
Blog Posting Assignment: Week of 5/8/12
What is a type of application software that you use regularly
that is helpful for you personally or professionally? Explain in detail the following:
- Describe what the application software is and what its function is
- At least 3 advantages to using it
- At least 1 reason why other students in our class should use it too.
Example: The
application software that I use regularly is Microsoft Word. This is also a type of productivity software
because it allows me to efficiently complete tasks that are useful at work and
home. I can create documents such as
lesson plans, schedules, outlines, letters, reports, and much more. This is a type of word processing software;
which is considered the most widely used word processing software. Three advantages to using Word are: To create professional-looking documents, easily
edit documents, and move information from one document to another easily. I would recommend all students to use
Microsoft Word when writing papers, letters, and reports for school and/or
work!
